Geography
editUlakhan-Kyuel lake is located near the eastern bank of the Lena, about 30 km (19 mi) in a straight line to the east of it. It is one of the largest lakes in the Central Yakut Plain.[3] Flowing northwards from the lake at the northern end is river Ulakhan-Kyuyol-Seene (Улахан-Кюёль-Сээнэ),[6] a tributary of river Seen-Yurekh, the largest tributary of the Natara.[7]
Heading west, the Menkere, a tributary of the Lena, describes a wide, roughly semicircular, arch around the southern sector of the Ulakhan-Kyuel in its lower course. The area between the lake and the banks of the Menkere is over 7 km (4.3 mi) wide.[3][8]
